THIABAUT COURTOIS STILL DISAPPOINTED OVER MOURINHO SACKING

Belgium international and Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois revealed that he was disappointed about the sacking of his former coach Jose Mourinho.but he is still hopeful of success this season.
"It was strange for me," Courtois told the Independent. "When you get injured for a long time it's not nice because you are out of the team and not involved anymore.
"Sometimes you just go to watch training to be with the players a bit and have the feeling of being part of the group. When it's not going well, you want to help.

 

"We had a wonderful season being champions, but this season has been different. I was sad when a top manager like Mourinho got sacked, but you have to move forwards.
"You cannot look to the past, you have to look forwards and we were in a bad situation so the club took a decision and, as players, we knew we had to improve.
"We are doing well and we can maybe move up the table, but top four is out of the question. I think the most important is the FA Cup and the Champions League. That's our main aim.
"It's nice to win a trophy every season and say every year: 'OK I won something.' Winning a trophy would be a good way to finish a bad season in a positive way.
"But I'm not obsessed by the fact I have to win a trophy every year -- it's a nice thing, but I know it's sometimes impossible."
